Ok so i just finished putting a gsr swap and the tranny is acting weird.... Most of the times it doesn't go into any gears i will have to pump the clutch before it actually allows me to go into any gear and when i drive it and get it in the gear it just gets stuck in that gear even if i use the clutch and try to take it out it will stay in that gear and won't actually go into neutral is like if the clutch is not doing anything unless i start pumpin it


so what do you guys think this could be ?

 

well i gotta ask how much knowledge u have working on cars? Next question could be a dumb question...but i will ask anyways...u did put in regular motor oil in the tranny after installing the swap???

 

i done a bunch of swaps and i used genuine honda transmision fluid

 

hmmm u should be fine. You try bleeding the clutch?

 

yea should be but is not fine at all lolllll i was stuck at a stop sign for like 10minutes trying to get the car to let me go into 1st gear and yes i tried bleeding the clutch and the pedals pops out fine problem is that even if the clutch is all the way in it doesn't let you go into any gears unless you start pumpin

 

hmmm sounds strange man. I would get a friend and re-bleed the whole system. I think u gotta use a 8mm open end wrench and a skinny hose on the front of the tranny. Pump the clutch a few times and keep it pressed down. Then tell your buddy to loosen the bolt on the vlave and flud should come out. Tighten it down and you'll have to lift the clutch pedal back up then repeat a bunch of time. Don't re-use the fluid just incase you get dirt in it.

 

yea bro we alredy re-bleed the clutch a little while ago same problem

 

need help

 

Drain the tranny fluid and check for shards of metal, something may have been damaged.

 

t0p_sh0tta : I just drained the tranny and i didnt find any broken pices of metal of any size i even passed it thru a net and there was no metal visible

 

need help asap

 

maybe just a bad tranny?

 

did you check the pressure plate/clutch before installing your swap? I had the same problem a few years back and it turned out to be the performance clutch installed incorrectly.

good luck.

 

Thx
how could it be installed wrong, isint it like idiot proof, it only goes in one way? can you explain What could be happening inside that is causing this problem?

 

well it is kind of. but sometimes people don't align them right and you run into problems. it probably just isn't centered, check it out and make sure the flywheel is torqued correctly.

 

what i dont understand is... how is this happening can someone explain?

 

Can't explain what it is until you find out what the problem is.

My best guess it that it's the gremlins from the Progressive commercials.

that's what im thinking, those damn gremlins.

just drop your tranny and take a look to see if anything is out of place. if the clutch is not straight, im thinking when you push your pedal in its not allowing it to engage all the way, thus not letting you shift easily. just a guess, trying to help you out.

 

yup those fucki*ng grimlings fucked me up i should have gotten progressive earlier
